Mariachi Arcoiris
Mariachi Arco•Iris de Los Angeles, or The Los Angeles Rainbow Mariachi (in English), is the world's first LGBTQ+ mariachi. A unique and dynamic ensemble representing the traditions of the rich culture of Mexico, this group was created as a haven for mariachi musicians who identify as LGBTQ+ to come together and perform traditional Mexican regional music in an otherwise “machista” and discriminating subculture of the mariachi world.
The theme of the LULAC National Convention in 2025, “Empowering the Next Generation,” reflects our centuries-long commitment to civil rights and empowerment. Rooted in our history of fighting injustice and pioneering change, this theme reflects our commitment to educating the leaders of tomorrow. As we come together every year to advocate for progress, we recognize the importance of mentorship and inspiration in fostering future leaders. From advocating for fair labor conditions to establishing educational initiatives, LULAC has always sought to support Hispanic communities.
